Walt Disney Records Presents a Soundtrack of Supernatural Proportions: "The Haunted Mansion Haunted Hits'' Soundtrack, to Be Released November 25
Raven, Star of Disney Channel's Hit Series "That's So Raven," Breathes New Life into the Stevie Wonder Classic "Superstition"
On November 25, 2003 Walt Disney Records releases a CD filled with instant hits right out of the coffin. "The Haunted Mansion Haunted Hits" soundtrack is a collection of music from and inspired by the Walt Disney Pictures' live-action film. The compilation features fifteen haunting new and classic tracks from artists such as Raven, Barenaked Ladies and Calvin Richardson, plus an original score by Mark Mancina that shadows the creepy adventures and excitement of Disney's "The Haunted Mansion."
The music video for Raven's spirited version of the Stevie Wonder classic "Superstition" is a fantastic complement to "The Haunted Mansion Haunted Hits" soundtrack. Tune-in for the first look of the video in its entirety during the premiere of Disney Channel's Original Movie, "Full-Court Miracle," Friday, November 21 (8:00 p.m.), exclusively on Disney Channel.
Walt Disney Pictures' "The Haunted Mansion" comes alive like never before with incredible visual and special effects in this all-new, fun-filled comedy adventure. Shrouded in fog and mystery, the mansion was once a stately antebellum palace that hosted New Orleans' wealthiest. Now it's the creepy and crumbling home to a love struck 19th century gentleman, 999 ghosts, and a hilarious and hair-raising battle for "home rule." Realtor Jim Evers (EDDIE MURPHY) and his wife and business partner Sara get a call late one night from mansion owner Edward Gracey, who is looking to sell his property. Smelling the biggest deal of their career, Jim, Sara and their two children pay a visit to the mansion, located on a remote bayou. A torrential thunderstorm of mysterious origin strands the Evers family in the old mansion with the brooding, eccentric Gracey, his mysterious butler Ramsley, and a variety of residents both seen and unseen. At first, Jim scoffs at Gracey's stories about ghosts and hauntings, until he unearths the mystery of the mansion and finds that his wife Sara has unexpected connections to its haunted past. "The Haunted Mansion" will be in theatres nationwide November 26th.
